you'll likely still have divided government. the theory is that basically if romney wins you are more likely to get a punt on the fiscal cliff because republicans could be in control of each house if they win the senate. generally speaking, the senate democrats the thought is will not be as intransigent if romney gets in. not sure i buy that. i think the odds are similar under ooet president for a punt on the fiscal cliff. i think if obama wins, you've seen some movement among house trops say we're not necessarily going to be completely stuck on extending the top rate bush tax cuts. they want most of them. but some off-the-record comments say they might be able to move on the 250,000-plus. republicans if obama wins re-election will be dealing with an electorate that says we a i agree with his position that we can let these top rate tax rates go up. they'd be in opposition to the american people if they do that. the pressure will be off from the election and i think you'll probably get a punt under either scenario. >> i know your

the one reliable policy you can always count on republicans controlling national government to push through are tax cuts on the wealthy. they won't close deficits, they won't do a lot of other things they say, but the one thing they will do, you can bank on it, is cut taxes for the rich. and that is hanging around him. people saw how that worked the last time. they're going through a recession that has hammered the working class in the way it has benefited the wealthy. and on top of that, he wants to do these tax cuts for the rich. that is the core truth that he has to defend. >> it is hard for him to connect with the middle class when he offers a policy like that. it's more of the same, no doubt. i want to go back to what ezra was talking about, about the economic model that the obama administration had and talking about where unemployment was going to go and how good it was going to be. all of that discussion was being presented to the american people, not knowing that we were going to have is a record amount of filibusters. obstruction is not an excuse. it is a reality. and i believe the
